Question

what is program

Answer 1

If I'd have to define it I'd say a program consists of the instructions of what to do and the data strictly associated with these instructions.

A simple example would be a program that calculates the sum of two numbers. The instructions consist of the addition and the data are the two numbers that you want to add together.

A more complex program would be a video game, where there are instructions on how to display a model of a car, and the data is the model, the texture, and the sound of the car. Another set of instructions would be how to control the car. I'd argue that the data is part of the program as you could play the game without the data part missing.

There are programs that work on external data, e.g. word processors, sound/video editors, 3d modeling tools. The data they work on is not considered part of the program.

The line of what belongs to the program could be a bit blurry. :)

Answer 5

A program is a form of math (Algebra) within brackets perform tasks from the ASCII codes (That is set binary numbers) in which they invert into a decoder. and turn into a seven-pin logic gates to operate pixels.

I might be far fetch, but if you grab the led strips and made a screen then form there you make a coder reader and by learning a little bit of electronics the pin and gateways you run programs. the old 80's video games. fun and simple. Programs created files to execute a process of files at once or in sequence or can be at the same time a program.
